Georgian Settle as Monks’ Bench Table

This superb country-made settle or table bench is certainly unusual and is quite special as it converts to a table. The wonderful dry oak back boards have been fitted to the superstructure in such a way that they neatly fold over the gorgeously patinated elm seat presenting the back of the settle as a table top. A wonderful design providing a multifunctional piece of antique furniture. - Superb colour and patina. - With adjustable back providing a seat back or table top. - Rustic oak four plank top and elm seat. - Fixing holes in the arms to hold the table in place. - Rustic charm at its best. A dream for a collector. This would be a statement piece amongst a collection of vernacular and primitive country furniture in a country home. Origin: Out of a provincial workshop, believed Wales Date: Circa 1780 Material: Elm & Oak
